I'm not expecting noticeable oil. It's worth it IMO even if you're just keeping hot dirty recycled air out of the intake.

Any pictures of your particular installation if used would be very much appreciated? Thanks Folks!

Did you ever get around to installing the breather mod? I'm thinking about getting one too but wanted to see what kind of advantages it serves.

Hasn't arrived yet. I will update when I figure it out. Feel like seeing the can in person will help me get a better idea of what to do.

From the DK web page:
The top of the Catch Can is vented, letting the air escape, while the foam filter catches and holds the oil.

I doubt DK is going to sell you a product that restricts the air flow and causes a problem.
